In August 2009 I read and analyzed the 1100 pages of HR 3200 that was the original version of the Affordable Care Act. I wrote an article about the proposed legislation that became the first one posted on this blog. That article has recently resurfaced several times and gone viral as an email.

Of course, it was not about the version of the law that finally passed, that version originated in the U.S. Senate and was H.R. 3590, originally a House bill on a totally unrelated matter. This was one of the first ruses by the Democrats designed to bypass the Constitutional requirement that all revenue bills begin in the House.

In my original article titled “The Truth About the Health Care Bills” I stated that “The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.” I was attacked by the left immediately for making inaccurate claims about what the bill said, yet everything I predicted has either happened or is in the process of being implemented.

I also concluded in that original article that “this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.”

In addition, I stated that “This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.”

H.R. 3590 is over 2700 pages and in many respects is worse than the original version. It establishes 138 new federal commissions and agencies; all under the control of Obama. The law is being used to violate the 1st Amendment rights of religious institutions and religious owners of businesses. It violates the 4th Amendment by giving the IRS access to our personal information, and we all know how careful it is with such information.

As for Obama’s promises, people are losing their insurance that they were told they could keep and they will also lose their doctors. But, of course, our President has fixed that. His majesty has ordered insurance companies to renew the policies, but just until after the 2014 elections. That is the way this President fixes things for the American people.

Now, how is he going to fix the lie that insurance premiums would go down when they are going up, and the lie that health care costs would go down when they are rising? Then there is the lie that thousands of new jobs would be created in the health care industry when in fact almost 50,000 health care workers have been laid off so far this year. Of course, new jobs as navigators are being created for Obama loyalists in Acorn, Planned Parenthood, and the Urban League. Navigators for a system that doesn’t work.

Thus, I reiterate what I said in 2009. This law was never about providing affordable health care to Americans; it was and still is about giving the Federal government power to control the lives of Americans. The ACA was designed to fail so the ultimate goal can be achieved, total government control over healthcare, i.e. socialized medicine.

As usual, a very well thought out article. You really nailed ACA for what it is. I, too, predicted that there would be rationing of health care, when this was first being talked about, and before it was passed. It it had been in effect in 2005, our now 8 yr old grandson would not received the care he needed as a micro preemie. Most likely he would have been allowed to die as he required a lot of very intensive care, and spent almost 9 months in the hospital. He only weighed 1 lb 10 oz and was 12 1/2" long. All the glory goes to God that he didn't have any really bad problems, and there were many, and he only had a 10% chance of survival. My heart is breaking over all these people getting cancellation notices from their insurance companies, especially those who are battling cancer, and especially the children who are battling cancer. This Mulatto POTUS needs a good tar and feathering and a rail ride out of D.C.! As well as a lot of the Democrats and all of the RINOs! Thank God, we have Senator Ted Cruz battling for us Texans.
May God bless you and your family, and thank you and your sons for your military service!

Of course you have been right about this mess, and every other disgusting act of this administration, all along--I would expect nothing less. I am honestly counting on you, as are millions of Americans (even though they may not even know it), on really DOING something about removing King Obama and all of his phony cronies from their seemingly unlimited, unanswered-to power grab. I want him and his "GD America" cohorts (where is the traitor Rev. Jeremiah Wright these days anyway?) not only removed from power, but in prison where they belong for boldfaced treason against the country I love before they have one more minute to shred our constitution and spit on us. We're like sitting ducks waiting for the next law to fall.

Please, please, please continue to fight, Michael....you're in this battle for a lot of good people who do not deserve what they're getting. Thank you, and God Bless You and those you love, and God Bless our country and help it get back on its feet.

You correctly mention the fact the "ACA was designed to fail". I don't think anyone is giving this fact the attention it deserves.

The people need to understand the reason things are going wrong is "part of their plan". I believe things are failing quicker than expected and this has back fired a bit for them.

It is one thing to "fail", but quite another to "plan to fail." I hope you can get an article written that goes deeper into their "plan to fail". The POTUS does not need sympathy for his failure. He need to get credit for the destruction of the USA free market health care system.

Of coarse, many these new agencies are part of a bigger plan to destroy small business and destroy the middle case, but that deserves a separate article all it's own that ties the two together.

King Hussein was not unclear in his stated desire for a "Single Payer" system, i.e., Socialized Medicine [Government controlled and 'managed' health care].

He is a totalitarian Communist with a liberal dose of fascist in the mix.

His parents were both communists, his maternal grandparents communists. He grew up with these as his formative influences in his earliest life.

He grew up in his later adolescent years under the fascistic teachings of Islam [in Indonesia] which is not all that different from communism other than in rhetoric. Both tout heavily the state control of the individual with communism being far more subdued in its public adherence to violence to achieve total suppression of freedom.

Heed well Vladimir Lenin's words: "Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."

Like you, Michael, I have often thought that this catastrophe was designed to be just that, a dismal failure, giving His Majesty the perfect platform to say that this obviously isn't working, that the failure is all due to the insurers gouging the public [completely ignoring the fact that the gouging, cancelled policies, etc. are the inescapable result of his signature achievement] and that the only real solution is communism!

Since FDR, the Democrat Party has been the de facto American Communist Party which has given us the debacles of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Bush's prescription drug program, the eternal fascist state of federal regulators, et al.

Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to put the effects of the ACA into layman's language that can be easily understood. It is in my opinion an evil health plan designed to control every aspect of our lives, and when fully implemented it will bankrupt our country. Keep up the good work of informing us about the facts and truth of what our government is doing and how this President and Congress are ignoring our Constitution.
Impeachment of Obama is what is needed but the House of Representatives doesn't seem to have the heart to do it.
